To Get Through With II Congress HH Haze
to be dcficc.
Washington special: Very little work will
be done by congress during the remaining
seventeen days OF the session other than
that on the floors OF the two houses. Com
mittee work, with only two or three excep-
lions, is finished, and there will be no fur
ther meetings. The proceedings on the
floor will, too, be conducted with great
rapidity, ana while some days may be
thrown away in useless debates, Others will
be fruitful OF unusual results. The statue
Of various measures destined for final pass
age before March 4th continues to be OF
such a character as to make prosnosti-
cations quite uncertain.
In the senate tomorrow Senator Came.
ron intends to call up his bill providing for
the construction OF war vessels, and hopes
to nave it passed with little talk.
Senator Haze intends to ask the senate
to consider his bill, OF the same character,
very soon thereafter. The anti Mormon
bill is anticipated from the conference COM
mittee by the senate tomorrow or Tues
day. and will likely be disposed Of at once.
The river and harbor bill will DO ready for

will consume two or three days. in all pro-
liability. Wednesday after 2 o'clock has
been set aside for ~eulogies on the late Sena-
tor Pike OF New Hampshire.
Tomorrow is District of Columbia day
in the house OF representatives, when vari-
Gus measures OF interest to Washington
are to be considered. Tuesday Chairman
Belmont on the committee on foreign
affairs, will ask the house to complete the
consular and diplomatic bill debate, which
was begun early last week. Wednesday
eulogies on the late Senatorial A. Logan
If Illinois are to be delivered. The legisla-
tive, executive and general appropriation
bill is to follow the completion OF the consul
lar and diplomatic bill. This measure has
much new matter in the form OF changes OF
salaries of officers and will excite consider
able debate, probably consuming the re-
mainder of the week. Mr.. Hatch viii in
sist, if opportunity offers, that his pleuro-
pneumonia bill and the experimental agri-
cultural station bill be considered. 1t is
likely that the conference committee on
notifications will report during the week,
and it's report is privileged and may be
considered at ouce. A pressure is being
brought to bear for an early report from
this committee, and when it reports the
same pressure will be exercised for immedi.
ate consideration OF the report, so as to
relieve the committee on appropriations
from the responsibility on the subject,
there heing a number of bills before it max
ing appropriations for coast defenses, and
it is intended that the measure which will
be reported by the conference on fortifca-
lions shall be a substitute for these bills,
and that the committee on appropriations
shall thus be relieved OF the whole ques-
ton.
If the senate acts on the anti Mormon
conference report it will likely be taken up
in the house during the week. Friday is
private bill day. but it is generally conceded
that it will be set aside, as the house is dis
inclined at this late day, when there Is
such a press Of general measures, to give
up a day to private ones.
